OSS Naming....

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
OSS love their release naming:

Android: ...Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean (desserts)
Ubuntu: ...Natty Narwhal, Oneiric Ocelot, Precise Pangolin, Quantal Quetzal (Adjective + Animal)
Eclipse: ...Helios, Indigo, Juno, Kepler (Heavenly bodies)
Mint: ...Julia, Katya, Lisa, Maya (female names)

What happens when they hit Z?

It's more than just alphabetical, the letters often refer to version numbers (eg a=1, b=2, etc)

I do prefer this trend than the recursive acronym "jokes" you get: GNU is Not Unix, WINE Is Not an Emulator, etc.
